Editor's note

In light of the disturbing allegations of sexual misconduct by teachers against students at Miramonte Elementary and other schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District, we decided to query local school districts about their policies regarding such matters and the number of complaints they have processed in the last five years.

So on Feb. 28 and 29, we sent public records requests to districts from Bonita Unified to Banning Unified. All responded in some way by March 14.

We have posted on our website, for each district, the letter we sent and the response received. Many of those responses request clarification of various points in our requests; we will post our letters of clarification when we send them and their responses to those.

We will continue this process until, with the districts' help, we are able to provide the information we sought to parents and concerned citizens of every district.
